Nice cards. The Big Bang is not the Mirage.

I picked these up from the flea market yesterday.I usually don't find much good stuff out there anymore but I was bored and I have a hard time walking everywhere(my knee is pretty bad) with my wife so I just stayed at the card shop while she went looking around.I got 30 cards for $20 but I think I got a somewhat decent deal.There are a few not scanned but those really didn't fit the criteria and there are a few that are scanned that may not fit it either.

I really like some of these cards though and cannot believe I got them all total for less than $1 a piece.When I got them though the bad part was a whole lot of them did not have penny sleeves on them so I was worried about the surface being all boogered up.Luckily...I didn't have too many problems and all the scratches are just on the toploaders.

T-Mac Press Pass Net Burners.These are actually pretty cool though I prefer some of the earlier ones.

This card is freaking awesome.Its not worth much but its clear acetate and its pretty sweet when you hold it up to the light.Looks like I have some more to find when I get a chance.

Couldn't pass up a Gold Medallion of Big Hurt!

I'll take these all day long for less than $1!!!!!

Haven't seen too many four star cards from topps stars.I do like the set though.

This thing actually books $15 in beckett which made it odd to find it in a the $1 bin.I guess the majority of the hobby just doesn't care any more.

Yeah...I'd take these all day long at under a $1 a pop as well!

This one is a little after 2000 but hey...its a diecut!

This is actually a very sharp looking card and one of my favorite Derek Lee cards now.

Even though these are old...I'd never seen these before in my life.Kinda odd considering I thought I had seen most of the early 90's insert sets.

Not really an insert but I love this set.

Not sure if anyone remembers VirtualYankee (I check and didn't see him here) her has an INCREDIBLE bucket for some of the sweeter 90's inserts:

Thanks guys!

No problem. You can't really tell from the scan, but the Mirage has a 3-D hologram of a baseball instead of the refractor finish.

 

[tonsofcommons]

Yeah, I saw that on the Griffey. I think I like the starburst design better.

Either way for 50 cents, it was well worth it!

 

[Cobra29svt]

I agree with ya. And $0.50? :shock:

I was searching for Ben Grieve through Photobucket and found his bucket. It's awesome!

Indeed I was doing a Juan Gonzalez search when I saw it.

Really wish he would come to these boards.

He has a WEALTH of 90's knowledge he could share.

virtualyankee frequents the boards over at thebenchtrading.com under the same name. I could get lost for hours looking at that photobucket, which is why I have it bookmarked.

His outright hatred of prospectors/prospecting would lead to his quick dismissal from FCB

I'm not singling anyone out,
but I liked this thread a lot more when it was "rare" 90's inserts.
I know the OP asked about eye-appealing inserts, too, but I liked looking at the more rare inserts of the 90's, like the first 50-75 pages. Now i'm getting bored. Just my opinion. Go ahead and flame me.

While I catch your drift...just about anything from the 90's insert wise is getting rarer by the day.A lot of people have these tucked away into collections because there are a lot of people who still want them and then the majority of dealers do not feel they will sell very well next to the game used and auto craze now days so they just throw them in storage or a warehouse somewhere and forget about them.They are actually all tough to find at times.For that very reason...I actually enjoy seeing them.Besides...I have seen quite a few cards on this thread that I have never seen before.I may need them for my Bagwell collection and even though it may not be a Bagwell I am looking at...at least I know what it will look like now.
